Levi's® Mile High Jeans

Levi's: Where it all began for jeans

In 1852, Levi Strauss, an immigrant from Bavaria, opened a dry goods company in San Francisco at the height of the California Gold Rush. While he was working, he recognized a need among hardworking people: clothes built to endure anything. He and tailor Jacob Davis combined copper rivet reinforcements with tough denim, leading to the first manufactured waist overalls in 1873. Today, we call them "blue jeans". What started as an invention for the American worker became the uniform of progress. Worn by miners, cowboys, rebels, rock stars, presidents and everyday men and women, these functional pieces were the clothes people not only worked in—they lived their lives in, too. But Levi’s are more than that. They’re the purest wearable form of authentic self-expression. They bear the markings of life, the shapes of our bodies, the memories of our adventures. Levi Strauss & Co. is one of the world’s largest apparel companies and a global leader in jeans.

The Mile High: With an ultra high rise and sleek silhouette, these jeans live up to their name and flatter your shape. This pair blends authentic character with coveted comfort, what Levi's does best. Levi's created denim with the timeless look and broken-in feel of a treasured vintage jean, and infused it with modern fibres for an ultra-soft hand and shape-holding stretch. Inspired by Levi's decades of denim expertise, it's the perfect mix of past and present, crafted just for you.
